Abstract: A system, including catheter apparatus, and related method for performing site specific therapy. The catheter apparatus can include one or more semipermeable microcatheters for use in performing site specific microdialysis. The system and method are particularly suited for use in addressing cerebral edema by affecting the osmolar relationship between fluids making up the brain tissue. Also disclosed is an apparatus having a delivery/recovery mechanism in the form of a pump reservoir and one or more catheters in the form of semipermeable microcatheters, for use in delivering and/or recovering fluid to and/or from a tissue site or for performing tissue engineering outside of the body. The apparatus can be used in a method to perform site specific microtherapy, including for the treatment of avascular necrosis, compartment syndrome, cerebral edema, and to improve skin flap survival in the course of reconstructive surgery.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid control valve which is provided, for its operation, with a bonding chamber (30) filled with liquid and placed between a piston (21) of a piezoelectric actuator (32) and a piston (25) that actuates a valve member. In order to compensate for liquid loss occurring in a bonding chamber when briefly exposed to high pressure in each cycle of operation, the pressure differential existing in the low pressure chambers (18, 22) between, on the one hand, the bonding chamber (30) and, on the other hand, the piston surfaces (31) of the piezoelectric actuator (32) and the surfaces of the piston (25) that actuates the valve member, the surfaces being in both cases turned to the side opposite the bonding chamber (30), is used during the return stroke of the actuator piston (31) to have a refilling completed along slots (35, 36) without using any valve. This type of valve is intended for use in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines for vehicles.

Abstract: A drive element (10) is provided for coupling together rotatable shafts (12 and 14). The shafts (12 and 14) are able to rotate about their respective longitudinal axes (12A and 14A). Additionally, the shafts (12 and 14) can pivot relative to each other about a pivot point P which is coincident with the geometric centre of the drive element (10). Drive element (10) includes a groove (20) for receiving a tongue (16) of shaft (12); and, a tongue (22) which is seated in a groove  (18) formed in shaft (14). Surface (26) of the groove (20) and surfaces (34) on opposite sides of the tongue (22) are shaped so that as the axes of rotation (12A and 14A) of the shafts (12 and 14) are pivoted relative to each other through a predetermined range of angles the respective loci of closest contact between the shafts (12 and 14) and the pivot point P remains constant. Accordingly the total length of a universal coupling drive (24) composed of the shaft (12) element (10) and shaft (14) remains constant for that predetermined range of pivoting of the shafts (12 and 14).

Abstract: A computer system as described herein comprises a first browser instance that displays and navigates hyperlinked browsable content. A global script, in the JavaScript language, is responsible for user interface functions. The global script includes event handlers that respond to identified events. A supervisory application program calls the event handlers in response to the defined events. In addition, the supervisory application program exposes methods that allow the global script to open and close dialogs that are specified as HTML files. Such dialogs are displayed in a second browser instance. The global script uses this capability to create appropriate user interface displays in response to system events.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et systèmes permettant d'assurer la transmission d'informations depuis un dispositif médical implantable, y compris les confirmations de programmation et les valeurs de paramètres programmées ainsi que les modes de fonctionnement et les modifications de mode programmées, ou encore les données enregistrées dans le dispositif. Le principe repose sur l'émission de sons audibles, y compris la transmission de parole voisée ou de tonalités musicales enregistrées dans une mémoire analogique exploitée en corrélation avec un algorithme de programmation ou d'interrogation fonctionnelle ou avec un événement déclencheur d'avertissement. Les sons audibles peuvent constituer à eux seuls la transmission sur liaison montante ou compléter la transmission RF simultanée sur liaison montante de données enregistrées, et/ou de modes et paramètres de fonctionnement programmés et/ou d'opérations et d'états du dispositif, en interrogation ou durant la programmation. Afin de réaliser des économies d'énergie, l'émission des sons audibles accompagnant l'interrogation et la programmation du dispositif s'effectue à faible volume et, de préférence, il s'agit de sons non audibles sans amplificateur audio externe ou stéthoscope. La transmission de parole voisée avertissant l'utilisateur de l'épuisement de l'énergie en batterie ou de l'imminence d'un acte thérapeutique s'effectue à un volume supérieur suffisamment élevé pour être audible par le patient, qui peut alors réagir de manière appropriée. Le volume des sons audibles confirmant les modifications programmées par le patient au moyen d'un programmateur fonctionnel limité ou d'un aimant correspondant est lui aussi plus élevé pour que le patient perçoive ces sons.

Abstract: Amorpha-4,11-diene is a precursor of the new anti-malarial drug artemisinin produced by the plant Artemisia annua L.. cDNA encoding amorpha-4,11-diene synthase from A. annua has been isolated and sequenced, and the corresponding amino acid sequence has been determined. Replicable recombinant cloning vehicles are provided which code for amorpha-4,11-diene synthase or for a base sequence sufficiently complementary to at least a portion of the amorpha-4,11-diene synthase DNA or RNA to enable hybridization therewith. Modified host cells are provided that have been transformed, infected, transfected and/or injected with a recombinant cloning vehicle and/or DNA sequence encoding amorpha-4,11-diene synthase. In general terms, systems and methods are provided for the recombinant expression of amorpha-4,11-diene synthase that may be used to facilitate the production, isolation, and purification of recombinant amorpha-4,11-diene synthase or the enzyme product amorpha-4,11-diene. The subsequent use is to obtain enhanced expression of amorpha-4,11-diene synthase in an organism to accomplish enhanced morpha-4,11-diene production, either in A. annua to obtain enhanced artemisinin production, which is used as an antimalarial drug, or in another organism. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un condizionatore d'aria per ambienti a profilo basso. Il profilo basso si ottiene in parte grazie alla disposizione dei componenti nella sua sezione esterna. Il ventilatore che convoglia aria attraverso la sezione esterna è del tipo a flusso assiale montato in modo che il suo asse di rotazione sia sostanzialmente perpendicolare alla base dell'involucro ed in modo che il ventilatore aspiri aria nella sezione esterna attraverso la sommità dell'involucro. Aria viene scaricata dalla sezione esterna attraverso uno scarico per l'aria su un fianco dell'involucro. Deflettori in corrispondenza dello scarico d'aria dirigono l'aria effluente dall'involucro lontano dall'ingresso dell'aria. Un estrattore dirige goccioline di condensa scaricate dallo scambiatore di calore refrigerante-aria interno nell'aria che fluisce attraverso la sezione esterna. L'aria trascina la condensa sullo scambiatore di calore refrigerante-aria esterno, dove essa evapora. Il flusso d'aria trascina il vapor d'acqua risultante fuori della sezione esterna.
